Backup administrator pilot fish who works at a big insurance company gets a request to recover some missing files -- which is what a backup admin does, right?

Well, maybe. "The support ticket had the following description: 'Something happened and some of my files are missing. I don't know which ones and don't know when they were deleted. Please restore what I need from backup,'" says fish.
